Hi, Kdpretti. No, you don’t have to use the Stevia. You absolutely can have this instead of the other snacks, but the portion size would be 1/16 of the recipe (about 3 tablespoons). In addition to what already appears as options in your menus, any of these can be used as a snack:

Thank you so much. Is there a list of free foods anywhere? I can’t find it.
Hi, kdpretty. Free foods are those in the middle and right-most columns in this link: https://www.trimdownclub.com/vegetables-3/.
do you have to use the stevia? I love dark chocolate and don’t need it sweetened? Also, can i have this for a snack instead of brussel sprouts or kale chips? those are the only two that show up on my meal plan.
I’m a newbie. Question when I change out the foods that you have listed on my menu do I have to try and keep up with carbs and fats and proteins or as long as I chnage out things you recommend I’m good like not chnage out an ingredient but an actual whole meal? Because everything on day one menu I didn’t like so I had to change every meal I picked from the list of meals you had under the pencil. So am I still in my numbers or do I have to re figure if I have a enough fats and carbs and proteins for that day?
Hi, Pebbles18. As long as you use the keto recipes and keep the calories the same, you will be fine. In general, the point with keto is to have more fat grams than the sum f carbohydrate+protein grams.
Only one drop of Stevia is listed in the ingredients but Stevia is mixed with the butter and then again with the dark chocolate
Hi, Italger. The glitch has been fixed – thanks for the heads-up. 🙂
